Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Elkview, WV.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Elkview struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses however, the client doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
